A little while back, our Peter Krauth predicted that platinum was on the cusp of soaring due to demand, supply, and utility.
Well, it looks like his prediction came true, with the metal already up over $100 per ounce.
What's more, with Peter's two platinum plays, you'll be bagging double-digit profits...

I have a list. It's a list of commandments – trading commandments. I won't make or recommend for my readers a single move if it runs counter to what's on my list.
The commandments have helped me make a ton of money in my time as a trader. They've helped give my Night Trader readers the chance to close out a "perfect" October with total gains of 797% – and they've helped you make 155% from my Fast Profits trading recommendation last month.
And now this one commandment in particular is about to deliver a rich payday all over again...

The midterms are history, and so is a major source of uncertainty.
I realize that we have headwinds out there – tariff troubles, bearish moves by market-leading big tech stocks, and rising interest rates, to name just a few.
Right now, my technical, fundamental, and seasonal analyses show that we have a good probability of markets finishing strongly into year's end.
It's that seasonal analysis right now that's particularly interesting – and particularly strong.

We just wrapped up our second Black Diamond Conference, and it was a smash, though it really couldn't have been otherwise.
After all, we had a week of beautiful Southern California weather and all the top-shelf food and drink we could handle. Between the eating and drinking, each day was packed with (extremely profitable) presentations and one-on-one sessions with Rick Rule, Matt Warder, Shah Gilani, Tom Gentile, Chris Johnson, and of course, yours truly.
If you missed it… well, there's nothing we can do about the weather and refreshments, but our video team is hard at work right now putting together a full set of notes, slides, and videos of the presentations: all of our best moneymaking ideas from the conference in one package.
Between you and me, I expect the recordings will be available later today – keep your eyes on your inbox. I'm sure you'll find what's in those recordings to be incredibly helpful – and lucrative – in your own investing.

It is that time of the year again…
Halloween's over; the skeletons and pirate zombies are back in the attic. My wife and I are now having animated discussions about just how soon the Christmas Pelican can take up residence in the yard. As always, I shall initially insist on the second week of December and stage a gradual retreat eventually settling on Thanksgiving weekend.
College football is in full swing, and the all-important Army-Navy game is now just weeks away. Once I manage to overlook the absence of baseball, it really is an excellent time of year.
This year, though, there's a fly in the ointment: the markets.
They've gone stark raving bonkers, staging some gut-wrenching declines and breathtaking counter-rallies.
Personally, I don't pay much attention to daily price moves, at least until my numbers tell me it's time to get interested in a particular company.
The truth is, I find the constant "What's the market gonna do next?" questions decidedly un-festive.
In short, all this noise, the ridiculous questions, the endless punditry… it's harshing my autumnal vibe.
I'm guessing you feel the same way, so here's what we're going to do about it...

Investors are being targeted by an all-out media blitz. But it's a funny kind of blitz – none of the violence you'd normally associate with the word. There's a reason for that, as we'll see.
It's a decidedly opiate affair, this blitz. It's calm, soothing, numbing, and permeated with a "don't-worry, all-good" message on near-endless repeat.
Try this: Think of the last time you read, heard, or saw something about "exploding earnings," "synchronized global growth," or "record levels of consumer confidence."
I'll bet it wasn't long ago at all. In fact, I'll go so far as to say you probably read words to that effect today.
So why is the mainstream media going out of its way to spread… calm and tranquility?
I'll show you the answer in a minute, when we dive into what I can only call a "masterpiece of misinformation" from a trusted American news organization.

It was a historic, game-changing week for the marijuana sector, but this is only the beginning as the end of marijuana prohibition plays out over the next few years.

The game for Canadian cannabis producers will change forever this morning when, somewhere in some eastern Canadian province like Newfoundland or Prince Edward Island, someone purchases the first federally legal, adult-use cannabis product in any G7 economy.
That sale of maybe a single gram of cannabis this morning will change the world over time. But it will alter the course of Canadian business instantly. At that moment, the Canadian market size grows by up to ten times.
The cannabis market restarts today – all the potential, all the gains – it's all squarely ahead of us right now.
That's ultimately going to reflect across "Big Weed's" bottom lines, and as one who stresses the importance of financials, I couldn't be happier.
Just look at what's happened already, in the run-up to legalization. Aurora Cannabis recently reported its results for the quarter ending June 30; most other companies did so in August. Just about all of them showed increasing revenue, fatter gross margins, higher patient counts, and a focus on higher value-added products.
That's impressive growth, and like I said, today… we restart the clock on all of it.
So let me show you what we can expect from the first "post-legalization" stream of Canadian cannabis earnings reports.
After all, that's where we can find some great, actionable "buy" signals...

For many investors, volatility is the enemy – or is it? One of our Quantitative Specialist's Trading Commandments states that "volatility is a trader's best friend."
